Stickney, IL
Stickney wildfire risk explained
Stickney's 3,612 buildings earn a 33rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stickney at the 33rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Stickney's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Stickney's buildings (99.8% of 3,612) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Shopping for coverage in Stickney
Stickney's moderate wildfire rating (33rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Stickney
With 99.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Stickney gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Stickney's 33rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Stickney, see the exposure-zones guide.
